Interests:
Being a polyglot leaves me with very little time for doing anything else other than deal with what I call - ''I do what I do well!'' By offering solutions, not problems. Not perfection but just right. Not when I am ready but when clients need the work. not just any translation but a well revised one. Simply! If something doesn't make sense I am not translating it!
